“Erica was so flexible with my schedule! My animals loved her and even my cat who never comes out and visits people came to visit her! She made time to play with my dog to be sure he was stimulated and worn out. I would use her again.”

I am a stay at home wife, so my day is completely free to look after your fur babies. I have all the time needed to provide a safe and happy stay.

About: My name is Ronda. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I have also been a foster for a rescue group for years. Your animal will be taken care of and loved as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets. I recently lost my 2 senior dogs. I have a large home and fenced in back yard. I also have a doggie door if that is something your dog is used to (if not, it will be closed up). They will have free roam of the house when I am gone or can be crated if that is what they prefer. I will take them for daily walks or hang with then on the couch. Meds, special diets, or any special needs will be addressed. I'll text updates and sends pictures. Whatever you and your furbaby want, I will accommodate. I accept dogs of any size.
“I was nervous about leaving my furbabies with a stranger but Kori reassured me and kept her word by sending me daily photos (sometimes several) of my dogs and was in constant contact the whole time. The house was as clean as I left it and she even washed her sheets and towels! The next time we go out of time I hope she's available.”

“Bailey was fantastic. House was just as it was left and I’m very happy I used Rover to find her. I was much happier leaving him with her than putting in a dare care type place. Bailey was very kind and I could tell she cares for pets well.”

“Luna helped us out in a tight situation! We needed a pet sitter at the last minute and she pulled through for us. She was willing to come without meeting our pets before the weekend she came to sit. Luna was responsible and I felt our pets were safe with her. I would definitely ask her to come again.”

“This was the first time I’ve ever had a dog/house sitter, but I knew it was the right thing for Ranger. Cyndi was great! Kept in touch. Left my home cleaner than when I left it.
